Although scores of GOP foreign policy specialists wrote an open letter denouncing various Trump views as "unmoored in principle", "a recipe for economic disaster", "inexusable", or reflecting "the sentiment of a racketeer", Phares decided he could help the candidate. "You have to get the information and you have to get it rapidly".
Thirty one people were left dead in Brussels on after terror attacks targeting the city's main airport and metro on Tuesday. Today he said that the city is a "disaster".
Speaking to NPR, Phares also seemed to draw a distinction between "torture" and "enhanced interrogation" techniques such as waterboarding.
"It's absolute and utter nonsense that American Muslims somehow know of potential terror threats and fail to report them", Mr. Hooper said.
We'll keep a close eye on the activities of Anonymous and would let you know of all the developments. They don't work within laws - they have no laws. Torture would violate current law and has been called ineffective or unreliable by many specialists in interrogation.
"They want to go by Sharia law", Trump elaborated, trading the dog whistle for a klaxon.
Trump has vacillated in his campaign about whether or not he would pursue using waterboarding - which is considered torture and thus illegal. Today it's an armed camp.
"You need surveillance", he said.
He has a big lead in convention delegates who will pick the Republican nominee, defying weeks of attacks from members of the party establishment anxious he will lead the Republicans to defeat in November.
Trump went on to issue an ominous warning: "This is just the beginning". We have to have strong borders, we have to be very vigilant and careful of who we allow into our country. "And then it really changed", Trump told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. And when do we get to the point where we're clearing out attics so that non-white family and friends have someplace to hide from your patrols? "His hateful, anti-Muslim rhetoric undercuts the seriousness of combating Islamic radicalism by alienating partners in the Islamic world making significant contributions to the effort", the letter said. We have people coming in with no documentation into our country and they could be ISIS, you don't know.
American Muslims decry Cruz community surveillance comments
It would be wrong. "In this fight against ISIS we are all united". "Of course, it is", Cruz said. But at least one comment after the attacks drew swift criticism in some corners.
But he said Trump is "wrong" to believe that US should "retreat from North Atlantic Treaty Organisation". She said in 2009 after the Fort Hood shooting that the problem was Obama being politically correct and not wanting to profile.
My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the attacks and with the people of Belgium. He called the strike "another cowardly attempt to terrorize innocent civilians". And I'm not talking about the attack today. "This type of barbarism can not be allowed to continue", he said.
He also tweeted, "We offer our deepest condolences to the people of Brussels and stand with our European allies to offer any necessary assistance".
"Our freedom is once again under attack", said a computerized voice in the latest video. "We are not fighting a religion", Sanders told reporters.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich responded to Cruz's proposal saying that the senator's focus is misdirected.
Anonymous is not taking Tuesday's terror attacks on Belgium lying down.
Waterboarding, the practice of pouring water over someone's face to simulate drowning as an interrogation tactic, was banned by President Barack Obama days after he took office in 2009.
Presidential candidates immediately addressed the attacks.
And Brussels also proves we're in a war we're not ending or winning. While Trump and Texas Sen.
Mr. Trump's cynical response to the terrorist attacks was to repeat his arguments for closing down America's borders to anyone who apparently fails to pass muster with the Donald.
